Ocasio-Cortez: Debate Request Is Sexual Harassment!

[Tilly]

Ocasio-Cortez dismisses Ben Shapiro's debate offer, compares to 'catcalling'

Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday dismissed an offer from conservative commentator Ben Shapiro challenging her to a debate, saying she doesn’t “owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions.”

“Just like catcalling, I don’t owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Thursday night. “And also like catcalling, for some reason they feel entitled to one.”

Shapiro fired back at Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter while defending his offer:

"Discussion and debate are not “bad intentions.” Slandering someone as a sexist catcaller without reason or evidence does demonstrate cowardice and bad intent, however."

My, my, my. That's the "future of the Democratic Party", is it?

I wonder if she whipped out her Woman Card and claimed it was "catcalling" when Stephen Colbert asked to interview her. That request was probably "unsolicited", too.

So much for her claims that Republicans are afraid of HER. Looks the other way 'round to me.

"Debate" and "interview" mean different things.

yes, they do. and legitimate candidates do both. She is extremely ignorant, makes idiotic proclamations, and comes off as a pathetic whining baby.

but that's the future of your party, Obama and Clinton killed the party of Truman and Kennedy and this is all you have left.

I haven't heard her--but I have a feeling that your opinion of her "proclamations" might be a bit colored by your disagreement with her basic premises. No?
She's young, she probably hasn't gotten her details worked out yet since she didn't expect to win the nomination, but you could be right. A lot of politicians don't have the details down, just the sound bytes. I seem to recall Trump was pretty famous for that during the campaign. Couldn't seem to get him to explain what in hell he was planning to actually DO except repeal and replace.....build that wall that Mexico will pay for.....stop all immigration of Muslims....make America safe again....
Bumper sticker campaigning isn't actually unheard of.

You’ve never even heard or her and you don’t have a clue who Ben Shapiro is, yet here you are making excuses for her and making assumptions about why people disagree with her. WTH???

 

[Cecilie1200]

Who is Ben Shapiro?
Aren't debates usually between candidates? Is he running for something?

He should

I believe he would prefer to be a Supreme Court Justice, rather than a politician.

 

[Tilly]

He would eat her alive, and she damn well knows it.
He is currently the best debater alive. Informed, smart, and lightning fast on his feet... this guy will make you look like an idiot even if you are right.
If I was a candidate for EITHER party, I wouldn't want to make an appearance in the same city as this guy let alone debate him one on one.
Having said that, she once again showed her true colors for calling him sexist with zero basis for it.

this guy will make you look like an idiot even if you are right.
Then why would anyone want to "debate" him?

Who else has Shapiro offered to "debate" among the Democratic candidates? Anyone? Why only her?

He has debated Sam Harris and Eric Weinstein. He has debated Cenk Uygur. He has debated Bill Maher. He has offered to debate many others including Michael Moore.

Thanks! I don't know who those folks are, but I truly appreciate someone giving me a straight answer.

Google them. You must know who Bill Maher and Michael Moore are?

I’m not even American and I know who they are
Not sure about Uygur, but possibly a Young Turk with that name???

Yea, asking her those tough questions is harassment. She doesn't want to debate because she is a complete moron and can't answer anything.

 

[Carpy]

She does kinda look like a younger, hotter Huma.


In b4 Hillary is coughing up her pubes.

Ben Shapiro would bury her in a debate. You, probably, not.

It’s no wonder the Dem Party is running away from this lunatic. She makes Maxine Waters look like an intellectual.

Shapiro debating this twit would be like a cardiologist debating heart surgery with my golden retriever.

If you havent even heard her how can you make any claims on her intelligence?

This isn't really about her intelligence. You conservatives all think she's stupid, so that's a senseless argument. The question is about whether she should be "forced" to enter into a debate with Ben Shapiro. You all have decided she's chicken, so that debate is over, too. You smeared her. You won.

How could she be ‘forced’ to debate anyone?

What do you think of her suggesting Shapiro is sexually harassing her for simply asking her to debate him?

what objection can there be to solving simple poverty with a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage, and unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed?

 

[Carpy]

.
She's just a nominee for a district in the Bronx. Why does the entire conservative establishment have its hair on fire over her?

Maybe because socialism/communism is accountable for almost 100,000.000 deaths in the world since 1917, yet that's not what's being taught in our government schools. She has no idea how any of her ideas will work, can be paid for, or what they'll replace. And yet the slimeball media has made her a rock star and a role model for young, and not so young, mush heads. The only saving grace is that now the democrat party has exposed itself for what it's always been....socialists.

Yet many of her policies have been enacted in very successful countries over the past century and no one has been murdered. Pure capitalism and pure socialism don't exist. A sensible pinch of this and pinch of that often makes a winning combination.

What countries? You won't find any that are not economically capitalist.

 

[Synthaholic]

Yes she does as no Rep could win in that district. To bad. This moron will be elected.

Always entertaining when people who can’t spell call other people morons.

You’ve admitted you don’t know who either of these people are, yet you refuse to look up this guy when a poster suggests that might be a good idea, so you want to remain in ignorance.
Then, knowing absolutley nothing about the topic or the people involved, you’ve decided he’s only offered to debate her?

And you’ve forgotten you backed Antifa and Leftards attempting to no platform him on campuses before.

If you really are a teacher - as you claim - your attitude is quite worrying, imho

I admit some on the left have no reason to take the right wing seriously about economics.

Tax cut economics are Worthless if they don't cover spending.

That’s a debate I’d pay to see

Maybe we ought to start a crowdfund to donate to her campaign, or to the charity of her choice, if she'll agree to meet with him.

Shapiro already offered her $10,000 for her campaign, or a charity of her choice, for an hours debate.

Yes, and since so many of us would gladly pay to see it - and she's currently too chickenshit to show up - I think we should all offer to contribute to maybe get her to sack up and do it.

Or at least further highlight what a complete lightweight she really is, however that works out.

Speaking of Cenk Ugyur, he decided to put his two cents worth in to, I guess, run interference for AOC, the "strong feminist". He tweeted this:

"This whole @benshapiro offering to debate @Ocasio2018 issue is ridiculous and shows the bias of the media in favor of the right-wing. Fine, I offer the same $10,000 to debate @tedcruz. Not joking. Guaranteed it gets no coverage. Why won't the bumbling coward Ted Cruz debate me?!"

Here was Ted Cruz's response:

"Stop catcalling me."

I guess, according to Mizz Ocasio-Cortez, Cenk is now guilty of sexually harassing Ted Cruz.

Solving simple poverty with a $15 minimum wage? Rather childishly simplistic, no?

He's debated Ben before. Not an experience he's eager to repeat.

One assumes he was going for "It's just so silly for a media figure to ask to debate a politician". Frankly, I would ALSO pay money to see Ted Cruz debate Cenk or just about any leftist in media you'd care to name.

how difficult can it be to defend a solution to simple poverty?

fifteen dollars an hour for minimum wage and unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed.
